Atm THE, ;WiolinNALt: DAUS 'EXTRA' T 8 PROM Tat; MORNING PAPERS, I.IY 15; 1826. • -7--- ; [Twt Tam.] ! .N 9 one can deny but that Mr. Huskisson's speech on Thiday night presented a variety of important par ticulda on the state of our commerce • and shipping ; and the tables which Will in consequence be laid be fore i t he House of Commons, will supply docuMents for riasoners of all kinds on the subjects to which they relate.. Were we to:state in what points we thought the Right Hon. Gentleman least conclusiie,_ or bow he se'erned least - to make out his case ! we should say, that ,the great bulk of his statements had reference to the 'condition of the shipping interest of the country before his new measures were introduced; the na tural inference from which . would be, that our com merciatnavigation was improving even under the old apt* For example, the increase of tonnage during the Whole of the late revolutionary war was said to amount to two-fifths : at the terniination 'of that war, it was ' . 2,486,000 tons ; and up to. the present-1:e -riod, that amount had increased to 2,580,000 ,tons--- an ificitaie, if the figures be correct, of no great wag nitude:. However, it may be observed, that.it is not Mr. Huskisson's fault, if his . new measures have not yet become matters of experience, nor can be appealed to as such : they can only be reasoned on prospec tively ;. and so far as reasoning goes, we should say that the argument is favourable, with the exception of that upon the silk trade, about which he himself, his "colleitipm,.and the, evidence adduced, have',Atifiled so much, that it is difficult.to say what has beefi its past, and may be its future state. Its condition at present is not very gratifying. After all the merit, however, which has been assumed on account of the more li beral system of commerce under which we are now acting, there comes out a kind of half-confession in Mr. Huskisson's speech that it has been wrung from us by .America; and that we could not therefore, with hohl4from inferior commercial states,either iii justice to theni;or without givingAnaerica a preference,of Which she unisthave availed herself to lint:rove in a still more rapid progress her commercial shipping interests. "Be the system of free trade," says Mr. Huskisson, " good or bird, it was, he contended, the duty of Great Bri tein to arrange peaceably' a measure of this ,nature, rather than to i)a*arci it rupture with those with "whom it was our duty to cherish a friendly feeling." " But, after we- had extended thin measure to the United States of America, we should hardly be acting with justice to deny it to those parts, which, under the feudal system, - were the great nurseries of commercial marine. He (Mr. Iltisliasson) should have thought it highly censurable to refuse extending it to them, be = eaute we apprehended .no danger from. them.' And again in speaking ofthechangesin our colonial commerce, in which the Americans had carried their point against us, he says, 4, Now was it wise to say to that growing naval power, which was•making such rapid advanees to a : Maritime ascendancy, You may carry on trade with our West India Islands, but Denmark and Sweden shall not ?' It was giving' tm unfair pre ference to one power, and that A power which it was not improper to .say in a British I:louse of Coininons displayed a rivalry with us." Colombia, Brazil, and 310titti, of course, participate in the new advantages eonreired by the free . trade, which may, indeed, be ' called co-tcmporanootts:with their birth. And we are .sure that, for very obvions:reasOns„it is our interest, by every means, to encourage the growth of those atates. They can hardly ever become enemies, but their position as allies may render them hereafter of incalculable. advantage.. Their rivalry in commerce must retard the grnwmf , greatness of AmetiCa ; and should.lbe in her way to power, find herself obliged to attack the former, as enemies at her thrsh hoW-:-:tlioutd.'she ',even succeed in her .conquest of tlArm r -fili,e will then haVe empire enough at {c ome, and composed' of PArts sufficiently dissimilar and uncon zireisOno, occuev her attention and employ her re sources.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, SATURDAY, MAY 13. CR1111• CON,---RICHARIMMi V. VRY• This was an action so recover compensation in damages for in jury received by the plaintiff, in consequence of the seduction of his wife by the defendant. ?ill.. Sergeant Wmnr. stated the case. The present was one of those instances which hind of late become unfortunately frequent. The plaintiff had now coins to demand at their hands the, repara tion his case required 14 the outrageous injury he had received frotu the defendant. Be should not waste their time by snaking remarks which their own feelings, as men of morality and virtue, would prompt, but briefly !state the circumstances of the . ease, which would be substantiated by the witnesses, and leave it for them to decide what ought to be the amount of the damages he was entitled to receive. 'file plaintiff had just commenced life, and married a woman of great beauty and accomplishments. To show the affection he entertained for her, he had settled all his property iu possession and reversion on her. They had continued on the mOst affectionate terms till the defendant, who was in the medical profession, had been introduced to the family. Then it was he took an opportunity of ruining the virtue of Mrs. Richardson, and the happiness of her husband. The witnesses would enter into a 'detail of the facts of the case, and by them they would determine whether his cheat was not entitled to large damages. Mrs. Lawrence is sister to the plaintiff ; was present at hissnar.: siege with Mary Ann Pool on the 30th March, Itw, ; did not know Miss P.'s family before she married; her brother lived With' witness for about two months after his marriage, and then went to Worle; near Bristol ; her brother is an attorney, and was 22 y(.4tra'of age on the day of his union ; the settlement npoy his wife was executed on the day of the marriage; the property he settled upon her was the whole of which he was possessed ; 'he derived it froui his uncle Poele had no property; it was a marriao of affection ; they appeared very fond of each other; during the time they were in witness's house they seemed to be very kind to each other; there are two boys, one about three years old, the other about 18 months, the fruit of this marriage. Cross,examined—Misa Poole, was two or three years older than \vitneski brother; it was a runaway match—the friends of Miss P. not having consented to the union. Miss P.'s father is en at l tornev at Bridgewater; saw very little of them after they left her house, and cannot say how things went on. - . . • The marriage-settlement was then proved, by which it appear ed that the plaintiff had made over certain lands end reVerstomry property, to which he Win; entitled, to his wife. J. Price, vicar of Worle, in Somerset, is acquainted with the plaintiff, and, since the nu;riage, with the wife; has seen a greet ' aid of them at various periods; they appeared to he exeeedinely kind to each other, and to live upon the best terms. It is nearly 4.. years 'since they came W Worle, hut witness ceased to call upon them for, the last 2 years; has' no acquaintance with the defend ant, but had seen hint during some years; witness ceased to visit plaintiff subsequently to the defetulantie coming into the 'neigh liourhood ; the reports that prevailed at the time respecting the levity of her conduct towards the defenitant, and his attentions to her, were the reasons' that indUced witness to cease visiting. Elizabeth Fry is a married woman ; lived in the service of ' plaintiff and his wife ; went there the day after lasiChristmas-day, and reniained until after Mrs. R. left; the defendant was in the habit of going'there very often when the plaintiff was absent.— Remembers once, when the defendant and. Mrs. R. were in tlit parlour, from whence a noise proceeded, witness went softly to the door, and could see what passed in the room. The' yhtintiff was not at home: Mrs. It. was sitting on defendUnt's knee. .She afterWarthi paw them together. • • On u former day bad beard a ai l , ' miler noise. After this occurred, the defendant asked witness Whether she had eeett any thing paas between ltiin;elf and Mrs. R.,, and also wanted to know whether She had mentioned it.' Told hint she did not know if she had or had not. Defendant' then asked her not to tell how often he was there, and gave 'her' hOMething. Ile appeared to be very, much affected when .she said She had seen what had passed. • When her mistress left, the week sfter Wells Sessions, she was taking medicine. It wait six Weeks. before Lady-day. The plaintiff had been absent about fourteen days when Mrs. R. left ; plaintiff's brother had been at their ,house on the Friday before Mrs.' 11.1eft ; she seemed rather id- , fected afterthe meeting, but soon cheered up. . . Crosii4gamined--Ivlrs.. ll.'s brother Caine,on. the,Sunday, and 'took her hwaY; witness was not married, when she went .quietly ttrthe door and'aaw what the defendant and Mrs. R. were doing; the door way partly open, and she put her bead 'into the rooni neither the defendant nor her mistress !timber witnese Wei look, into thrtiOem about three.minutes; witness did, not mention this at fair to her master when. he arrived* home, because she was :afraid be vvuuld'fly . iu a passion, and do amite injury ether to his wife or to the defendant,; nearlYtwonumthii there after this circentstunce, without mentioning it to any one; did not tell any thilig .

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--On Saturday this office was the Scene of an exhibition which 'w need not characterize. It concerned Sir Mark Wood, Bart., one of his Majesty's Jus tices of the Peace, a Deputy Lord Lieutenant of a county, Fel low of the Society of. Arts, next door neighbour, in Pall-mall, to Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, and about sixty-five years of age. Some days' ago, a respectable elderly lady named Pageti„resid. ? ing in Sloane -street, Chelsea, applied to Mr. DYER for redress, grounded upon the following statement : Mrs: Paget said, that she had a eon, a young man, who had, a great taste for the arts, particularly painting, to which latter profession he was applying his time and study : his financeo,• however, not being over extensive, be occasionally endeavoured, to ?mprove them by giving instruction in drawing to pOpits respectability. It happened that Sir . Mark Wood had two sells for education, at a school near town, whom he particularly wished to have properly instructed in drawing. Young Mr. Paget was employed by the master of the school. Some consider able time having elapsed after the young man's salary became payable at the school, and he not being able to obtain it from •the master, who as an excuse add, that he could not 'get 'it from Sir Mark Wdod, the young man, who 'doubted this latter 'assertion, took the liberty of addressing a very polite letter to : Sir Mark Wood, requesting to know if he had paid the, master of the Scheel, and if not, hoping that lie would have the kindness not to do so, but rather to pay it to him (Paget), who was the best entitled, and who had great difficulty in getting his money from the master of the school ; this application, he said, he took the .liberty of making as a mutter of favour, with the more confidence, as the sons of , Sir Mark Wood were the only persons for whose benefit he attended at all at the school. This letter, Mrs. Paget said, she took herself, by her son's desire, to the 'house ! of Sir Mark Wood, and handed it to a servant who opened the door, to be delivered to Sir lark, who was at home, and she would wait in the hall for an answer; the servant took the letter into the parlour, where Sir Mark was at the time; and in a minute or two after, Sir Mark came running into the hall, calling out aloud, where is the d--el old bL-L.h?" and at the same thou tearing the letter in pieces and dashing the remains Keep, the; floor. Mrs ? Paget, quite alarmed at such an Lnexpectedideep , don; ventured to hope that there was nothing to offend in , the letter. " Offend ! you old b---h," said Sir Mark Wood, Bert., how dare you come to my house? get out immediate ly;" and with that he seized Am poor lady by the neck, tore away the kerchief and brooch from her bosom, and opening the hall door, thrust her with violence into the street. Upon this statement Mr. DYER, as the only redress within his authority to afford her, granted a warrant against Sir Mark Weal This warrant was placed in the hands of Westcott, the dingier; who, however, received instructions,not to, execute it ,in any inconvenient manner on Sir Mark Wood, but to request he would name his own time for c oming to the office, and meet the complaint against him. Sir Mark appointed last • Wednesday for his attendance. Wednesday arrived, and 'so did Mrs. Paget, but not so Sir Mark Wood. His butler, however, appeared as his representative, and said that Sir Mark being engaged on some business, he could not attend to the Magistrate's summons:— " Summons!" said Mr. Dyer, "tell Sir Mark Wood that it is not a 'amnions, but a warrant that has been issued against him, and that that warrant must not be trifled with. As 'Sit Mark apPears to be labouring under some mistake, I will, fur hit fur. titer accommodation, appoint Saturday next; for his 'attendance, but tell Sir Mark, that if he does not attend on that day, the Warrant must be executed in the ordinary manner, and he must be intide,to attend by compulsion." The case was then further ad journed to Saturday last, when Mrs. Paget was in attendfi nc e ; but Sir Mark was not ; in about an hour afterwards the Baronet :arrived, m1(1 . 6461:I the office in a very hurried manner, bustled ilia to the Bench', anti then, uninvited, took his, seat by the side of Mr, Dyer, the Magistrate, neglecting altogether the usual practice :aniongstgentlemen of renewing their hats from their heads under such circumstances. Sir Mark Wood had no sooner taken 'his seat,' thenthi`6Omineacement of the following extraordinary scene took place : Sir Mark' Wood (turning to Mr. Dyer)—" Well, what the D—l did' you summon me here for ?" Mr. DYes—Summoned, Sir, you are not summoned ; you are bore tindera warrant charged with an assault, bukinatead of hiving yeti taken into custody under that warrant, audhrought here, at perhaps an incouvenience, - you have been allowed the in dulgenci that is usually,extended to gentlemen, of naming yo u r own time Ibr fiaiing the cage heard. now I am here, what do you want with me? ! Mr, D i icn......—you shall hear, Sir. ' Mrs. Paget Was then sworn, and stated her complaint. as we have given it above, distinctly saying, that it wasnot 'at all es any matter of right that her son addressed himself to Sir Mark 'Wood, but to ask a favour nt his hands, as the, instructor of his sons, that Ne would pay him, instead of paying the master of Ote Wiwi, t ie price of their instruction. _ _ _ • Mt. Dyin—;Nosi . , Sir,' you . have heard the lady's complaint 'against yoi,' have you any reply to make to it? Sir Mark Wood—Reply ! Why there is not a single syllable sworn against me. • I have nothing to reply to. Mr. Dvita—You certainly, Sir, have had as good an opportu nity as I have had. of hearing what.ass been sworn to by Mrzi. Paget; but I will repeat it to you._ Mr. pima. then went over the , whole of Mrs. Paget'a Com plaint she detailed it, and having finished, said to Sir Mark, You now, Sir, I hope, understand the lady's charge against you brre, you any reply to make t? it ?". F,jir Mark W00d..--" 'Yes; I make ' 'a rePly,-it's a d..-d that'n my reply to it." - _ fine you Ls for awearing. fine me ! you fine toe ! whet the d-1 do you . mean? you dare not fine Me; .at the Name time clenehiiiihia fig in the. Magistrate's face, or very nearly so. MtvDY : Elx•-•l—Yes, Sir, I fine you fig. for swearing in my - pre , .Aences.'aml,if you do po t be 'Oorornitteil for ten days to the Hoiise of Corre c tion to hard lab Our. Sir ark.— hat o you mean 'by that, Sir? what, send me ;1 n .to ltie tread-min ! me ;a Magistrate as well ai you, and a Deputy LoVil nitititidt '6f. a eoi rrity, - mo; • and send me to the tread mill, Ili see you d—d before I pay a fine. Mr. DYaj4 the Mild and ifentlemanlY coohle9s.of whose man; 'ner formed a singular contrast to that of the lino, Baronet; said; eau only . any, - that if you do hold his Majesty's commis sion of the pcmce, your conduct to-dardoes not afford a very go id - 4zinupt4 for keeping the . pe'ce ; I havepnirto repeat, that if ybu do not ply' the.,Ono I have awarded against you, you kilo h e com mitted to the House of Correction ; and if yoi.i . prdieed further in your extraordinary line of conduct towards the Bench, I Shall hold yin, to bail for that;:. and if you have , no_ defence to offer to the coroplalnt of Mrs. Paget, you must also find bail on that charge. Sir Mark,WoOd, during - this address, occasionally extending his clenched fiat Magistrate, - stalled from his seat 'at its conclusion, and in - a paroxysm - of rage; swore by all the powers of h-11 and d n that he Wotdd not for all the Magistrates of the realm,' including himself, either pay a fine Or set a single foot upon the treadmill. About this time, Mr. Roe, the Magistraie, took his seat upon the Bench, and' Sir Mark, as if conscious that another enemy was_ at hand; became ten times more violent than ever, and swore destruction to the whole race of peace-commissioners. Mr. Box—Really, Sir, your violent and unbecoming conduct towards the Bench, is quite beyond endurance, and unless you desist, I shall myself note it, and hold you to bail. Sir Mark—And pray Who; or what are you? Mr. Ros.—lf you compel me by a perseverance in conduct so unbecoming of any respectable person, to take notice of it, you may rely I shall let you know who and what I am. A commitment was now about to be made out to send Sir Mark Wood for ten days to the House of Correction . , when an operative, a very well-conducted rope-maker, who attended with the Baronet as his friend, persuaded him to pay the 59. fine, which, after hav , ing'had out ten times its valtie in oaths, lie accordingly paid. Sir Mark now being considerably exhausted, after gasping a little for breath, expressed' a wish to have his butler, who was present, examined, in opposition to Mrs. Paget's complaint. This poor man; who approached the Bench as if he were about to hear his final doom, told, we are sure with truth, all that his scattered senses could enable him to recollect, but he in no way weakened the complaint of Mrs. Paget. Sir Mark Wood was then told by the Magistrate, that he must find bail, two housekeepetS, to answer Mrs. Paget's complaint at the Sessions. - Sir Mark said he might be d—d if he would find bail, and was proceeding to walk out of the office, when Mr. DYER said, " Hold Sir, , ymi cannot be permitted to leave the office until you put, iu bail." Sir MarkL-What, am I to be taken into custody ? Mr. Dun—No, Sir, you are already in custody, and must remain so until your bail shall arrive. Sir Mark--Hut I'll be d—d if I shall be taken into custody. What ! I—a magistrate—taken into custody ! Mr. DYER—I tell you, Sir, you are in custody already:* Pmy, Sir, have the goodness to take off your hat. Sir Mark—NO, I won't. Mr. Ilern desired Plank, the chief officer, to remove the hat from the gentleman's head, which Plank did very gently, and hung it up on a hook in the wall. Sir Mark—Hallo ! say'; are you going to rob Me? Are you going to keep my hat ? Plankßy no means, Sir ; you shall have your hat whenever you wish for it. Sir Mark—Give it to me now, then • I like to have it in my own hand; I find I am among a queer Set; The bat was given to hick', and he was then reqUested to walk into the Magistrates' private room until he should send for bail, which he very reluctantly' did. In a little time the rope-maker Procured a cheesemonger, and both, being efficient men, were ac cepted as bail for Sir Mark's appearance at the Sessions. While the clerk was filling up the usual recognizance*, Sir Mark sud denly rushed from the private room into the office, and once more perched himself Upon the bench. By this time Sir Glonne p.a.antir had taken his seat there, and hearing Sir Mark again ho on in his for Mer strain of violence and abuse, remonstrated with im; but remonstrance was vain, and he, too, was obliged to threaten the committal of Sir Mark for insulting the Bench. Sir Mork said they might all be d—d, and he might be d—d if he cared a d—n for the whole set of them. Mr. DYER—Now, Sir, you have twice again, as before, offended in my presence, and I fine you 10s. more for swearing. Sir Mark seemed worked up to a pitch of pbrenzy, and snatch ing the bail-book out of the clerk's hanthi, be ran at Mr. Dyer with the book uplifted, exclaiming, t , I'll be d—d if I don't knock you down ;" and very possibly the Worthy Baronet might have effected his threat had not some persons intervened between him and the object of his vengeance. Mr. DYER Si r calmly assured M a rk Wood that 'IC he did not pay the 10s., to the House of Correction lie mast still go. The tread-mill again presentvl, itself to Sir Mark, and.he stormed and raged most amazingly at the 'prospect but After swearing as many oaths as it would have taken his estate to clear .off had he been fined in proportion, the rope-maker and the cheese monger stepped forward, and paid ss. each of the fine, and their bail bonds being completed, Sir Mark Wood was informed that be might withdraw as soon as' he pleased: Sir Mark did with.: draw, -but before he quitted the Bench he addressed Mr. Dyer You've taken 155., out of my pocket, and lam d—d if I don't put many a shilling out of ).ours." Mr. DYEII--" I don't see how that' is at ill likely, Sir." Sir Mark—" Yes, I will : you shall not be two days longer on that bench." Mr: Dun smiled and made no reply. Sir Mark Wood, Bart., &c. then withdrew. and concluded his extraordinary exhibition i by exclaiming to the officer who opened the door for him, " Officer; that Magistrate it a d—d rogue." kcertain change has taken place, since a recent arrival in LondOn, in the management of the Parks, which may give occasion to some , .witty, epigrams, and tart pasqui lades. None are such observers of female actions as fe males ; and it is thought that some 'of them ride more than usual in St. James's-Park, with a view to observe the visitants at a certain great house. But how to repel then, was a matter of difficulty ; and a singular device has occurred. Orders have been issued,---orders severe and peremptory, (Lord S. shook as in a tertian when he received them),—that the ride in St. James's Park shall not be watered any more'; and those who mill pry and' spy; must do it at the expence of dusty habits and inflamed eyes.— Times. , , MEETINGS OF CREDITORS.
